The Difference

Wound repair in beluga whales, Delphinapterus leucas, was studied by examining the sequence and timing of regenerative changes in skin incisions. Soon after the epidermis is breached, exposed cells not normally in contact with seawater begin to degenerate. Within 2 d, the degenerating layer becomes thickened to form a barrier protecting underlying tissue. This layer gradually sloughs as advancing epidermal cells fill the breach. Wound repair is complete in 30–40 d, five times longer than in the bottlenosed dolphin, Tursiops truncatus. Although several factors may be involved, we suggest that the difference in timing appears to relate directly to the greater thickness of epidermis in the whales.

This study reports comprehensive clinical pathology data for hematology, serum, and plasma biochemistry reference intervals for 174 apparently healthy common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and reference values for 27 Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus), 13 beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas), and 6 Pacific white-sided dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens) in zoos and aquariums accredited by the Alliance for Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums and the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. Blood samples were collected as part of a larger study titled “Towards understanding the welfare of cetaceans in zoos and aquariums” (colloquially called the Cetacean Welfare Study). Two blood samples were collected following a standardized protocol, and two veterinarian examinations were conducted approximately six months apart between July to November 2018 and January to April 2019. Least square means, standard deviations, and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for hematology, serum, and plasma biochemical variables. Comparisons by age, gender, and month revealed statistically significant differences (p < 0.01) for several variables. Reference intervals and values were generated for samples tested at two laboratories for up to 56 hematologic, serum, and plasma biochemical variables. To apply these data, ZooPhysioTrak, an iOS mobile software application, was developed to provide a new resource for cetacean management. ZooPhysioTrak provides species-specific reference intervals and values based on user inputs of individual demographic and sample information. These data provide a baseline from which to compare hematological, serum, and plasma biochemical values in cetaceans in zoos and aquariums.

Absolute Age

It is confirmed that one growth layer consisting of one opaque and one translucent zone is laid down annually in the dentine of the teeth of bottlenosed dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), allowing absolute age determination, although the seasonal sequence of dentine deposition is not yet clear. On this basis females from northeast Florida were found to mature at about 12 years and males at 13 years, both sexes living to about 25 years of age. Females accumulated up to 14 corpora albicantia in the ovaries, indicating an accumulation rate of about one per annum. Birth occurred at 100-cm length. Males and females matured at about 245- and 235-cm length, respectively, and attained asymptotic lengths of about 270 and 250 cm.
